--
-- Copy this script to your wmii config folder (e.g. `~/.wmii-3.5`) and set
-- the execute flag:
--
--   chmod u+x tagswitcher.lua
--
-- Then edit `wmiirc` (copy an example config if it doesn't exist) and add
-- the following line as one of the first lines:
--
--   TAGSWITCHER=`dirname $0`/tagswitcher.lua
--
-- In your key binding section, add the following lines:
--
--   Key $MODKEY-Left
--       `$TAGSWITCHER previous`
--   Key $MODKEY-Right
--       `$TAGSWITCHER next`
--   Key $MODKEY-Home
--       `$TAGSWITCHER first`
--   Key $MODKEY-End
--       `$TAGSWITCHER last`
--
-- You should now be able to jump to the previous/next/first/last tag with the
-- <Left>/<Right>/<Home>/<End> key, respectively.
--
-- To avoid Lua bytecode regeneration, the following command saves the result
-- to a file named `tagswitcher`:
--
--   luac -o tagswitcher tagswitcher.lua
--
-- Then change the `TAGSWITCHER` value like this:
--
--   TAGSWITCHER=lua `dirname $0`/tagswitcher
